that she has lost all her commercial appeal with the GP and it won't ever return
even when this goes to radio, it still won't climb much higher.
indie artists make better music anyway

The way this woman dragged G.U.Y. in this article titled
"Drowning, Not Waving: The Slow and Bitter End of Lady Gaga's Career" on Noisey.
Quote:
No one gives a **** about Lady Gaga anymore. Last week, she released her 11-minute, 46-second epic “Artpop Film” for the track “G.U.Y,” and almost no one gave a ****. The video has just over 23 million views at the time of writing—a number that’s likely to grow, but based on the performance of her last video epic, “Marry The Night,” it won’t likely be by much—but also one that’s disappointing for Gaga in the wake of contemporaries like Katy Perry and Beyoncé, whose videos have amassed 165 million (“Dark Horse”) and 129 million (“Drunk In Love”) views respectively. Even Jennifer Lopez’s recently released video “I Luh Ya Papi” has pulled in 17 million views, and J.Lo doesn’t even have a fun nickname for her fans. Considering none of these other videos are a performance epic to rival Gaga’s, which was filmed at Hearst Castle, that’s got to be pretty frustrating for the Gaga-sphere. I mean, all Bey did was dance on a beach.
Comparisons aside, did you even know Lady Gaga released “G.U.Y.” last week? The video fell almost completely under the radar as sites that would usually dedicate full posts to The Life and Times of Mother Monster relegated the “G.U.Y.” video to “New This Week”style list posts, or didn’t even bother to mention it at all. It seems as though Lady Gaga, one of the most widely watched and critiqued pop icons of this generation, has been deemed unworthy of the news cycle, at least as far as her “art” is concerned.
[...]
THE “G.U.Y.” VIDEO IS OBJECTIVELY BORING
Gaga’s “G.U.Y.” video is a loose metaphor on womanhood, misogyny, capitalism, her Jesus complex, etc. It’s full of predictable Gaga motifs and overused allegory. It begins with her as a sexy harpy thing, being shot down by some greedy men in suits who seem to be stealing her money (don’t ask me where bird Lady Gaga carried all the money, she doesn’t even seem to have a bag). Anyway, this montage carries on for almost three full minutes, as wounded bird-Gaga crawls back to her big gay palace to be resurrected, like Christ, because why not, and rejoin the big gay party happening in every room of her mansion.
There’s a terrible skit in the middle where Gaga references the Greek Gods and says some less than profound stuff about sexuality, which is further proof that skits should be left to the professionals—90s R&B artists. The video devolves into some yawn-inducing choreography, which we’ve seen a thousand times from Gaga and again, acts as a compelling argument that choreographed dancing should be left to the professionals—Beyoncé and Ciara, exclusively.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills appear for a bit as a cutesy folk band, singing “G.U.Y.” in lieu of Gaga, which is totally besides the point because who the **** even knows who these women are? The only reason I know is because I Googled it for this article. While trying to be ironically twee, Gaga slips easily into irrelevance. She also pulls out some visuals we’ve seen done recently—and better—by her contemporaries. Dancing around in a weird teddy bear cut out, she’s a poor-man’s Miley, and in her Egyptian-themed mansion, she recalls Katy’s “Dark Horse.”
The video ends with a weird sexy dance that looks more like a long commercial for jeans, and if you made it to the 7:38 minute mark, you probably won’t even have noticed the song itself, which is also objectively terrible. The final four minutes of the video are the credits—which apparently mention everyone Gaga has ever met—played off to the tune of another of her new insufferable songs, “Manicure.”
In sum, no one cares about the “G.U.Y.” video because it sucks, which is a completely fair reason not to care about something.

Read more, if you really want to.
Warning: The writer is even more ruthless in the full article.
JS: I totally disagree with everything this writer said + you can't say something is objective when in reality it is subjective.

Billboard 200:
54 (148) ARTPOP
Some sales:
#51. Drake – Nothing Was The Same – 6,600 (1,522,000)
#59. Young Money – Rise Of An Empire – 6,100 (48,000)
Which means Gaga sold between 6100-6600 copies this week, not bad at all.

The article was just posted this morning lol. I woke up and it was the first thing I saw on my timeline. I hoping the rest of the day won't be as messy.
I think that's the first comment, but it's not me.

Man, even with late night performances and a high budget video, it seems she's lost her GP appeal
Maybe she just needs brand new material from a new album, but this song is catchy enough to be played on radio/clubs. I don't see why the GP isn't eating it up?

or maybe she'll never resonate with the GP again and she'll just stay a gay icon
we need to accept that possibility since she clearly shows no signs of wanting to regain her old level of stardom

She does? Didn't she just release an expensive video where she looked sexy, perform on tv and visited lots of radio stations?
